SYNOPSIS
     waveplay [-chrs] [-b size] [-B bits] [-C channels] [-f dev] [-S rate] [-]
              [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The waveplay utility plays audio files.  The file operands are processed
     in command line order.  A single dash represents the standard input.
     Supported formats are Windows RIFF WAVE format (only linear PCM) and
     linear PCM raw format without header.

     The options are as follows:

     -b size     Use an audio output buffer of size kbytes.  The default size
                 is 2 kbytes.

     -B bits     Specify the number of bits per sample.  The default is 16.

     -c          The audio data are written to standard output.

     -C channels
                 Specify the number of channels.  The default is 2 (stereo).

     -f dev      Specify the audio device to use.  The default is /dev/dsp.

     -h          Print a help message and exit.

     -r          Treat an input file as raw format.  You can specify the
                 sampling rate, the number of bits per sample, and the number
                 of channels with the -S, -B, and -C options, respectively, in
                 which case the -r option can be omitted.

     -s          Silent mode.  Suppress messages.

     -S rate     Specify the sampling frequencey.  The default is 44100(Hz).
